Bejeweled Blitz Challenge update

As many of you know, I challenged myself to see how many coins (starting from as near to zero as I could get without earning more coins by playing) I could get on Bejeweled Blitz by only using the daily free spin(s), the new treasure chest button (coins or a gem free every 8 hours), playing the free daily challenge & only actually playing the gem if you win it from the daily challenge & coins from playing the ads.

I did not play any regular games. Only if I had won special gems, then I played those.

150,000 happened really fast. And then, on the daily spin, I won 100,000! This has happened twice since.

I’ve discovered, that if you wait to watch the ads until after you take your daily spin, a pop-up will come up after you’ve spun once, to watch an ad and get another free spin. OK, that works! Cool 🙂

A couple days in and I was starting to be surprised how fast I was accruing coins by NOT playing the regular game.

I hit 1,000,000 surprisingly fast. Really. I was actually shocked.

Still going pretty quick, but the rate at which I was gathering coins started to slow. However, there have been at least 2 daily challenges where I could play for the gem more than once. However, with a goal score like this, I couldn’t win it. No way.

Can’t believe it! I guess it felt like so long before this challenge, because I would sometimes spend my coins for special gems. When not making any purchases, this number popped up waaayyy faster than I expected.

Once I hit 2,000,000 – The rate at which I was accruing coins slowed drastically. I attribute this to the fact that this is a smart game. It has to be. The scores I needed to hit in order to win the daily challenges increased by 250,000 – 500,000. Whereas I was winning these challenges on a regular basis, I am now losing more than winning. Good thing though is that if you don’t watch all your ads first, a pop-up will appear after your first challenge attempt that will you give another free try after watching an ad. I like this 🙂

3,000,000!

So, all in all this challenge is going pretty well! It’s fun, and because I’m not allowing myself to play the regular game at all – in order to see how many free coins I can get, I don’t have to worry about getting hooked in to playing this game on repeat for a long time.
